Jordan, the 14-year-old daughter of Carl Jordan of St. Mathias, at 9:30 Monday evening
while taking her and her brother to a dance at the home of
Herbert Plansberg between St.
Mathias and Ft. Ripley village.
Runde was employed as a
boilermaker's helper at Brainerd and was talcing the girl and
| her lH-year-old brother to the
(lance in a single buggy. It
seems that he was very jealous
of the girl and a dispute arose.
The Brainerd man then drew a
revolver, fired one shot, which
passed through the.Tordan boy's
hand and then knocked him out
of the buggy.
The next two shots that he
fired entered the girl's temple
and caused instant death.
The horse, taking fright, ran
away* leaving the murderer to
think over the crime he had
committed. He waited for five
or ten minutes, then placed the
revolver at his own temple and
pulled the trigger. Death came
instantly, leaving only the girTs
brother to tell the horrible
story.—Transcript.

Lenore Lake,Sask.
April ID, 1911.
To the Editor of the Journa).
Dear Editor:
An it i*> a-
bout a week and a half ago
since I left Pierz for Lenore
Lake. Sask.. 1 will let till mv
friends and relatives know-
how we are gettingalong here.
Veil we came thru very
quickly with our cars. We
left on Friday morning at y-
bout .1 o'clock and came to
Humboldt on Monday night
at about 11 o'clock. Ilum-
bo'dt was our destination
point. Homboldt is a great
business town. If a stranger
comes thru here now lie may
think it is already ;m old
settled town, altho -the first
house there was build about
S vears ago. There are buildings there, which cover about
two acres of ground. The
railroads are over filled with
immigrants coining intoCar.a-
da, from all over the United
States and Europe. Land is
being taken up verv fast, but
there isroom for millions more.
Land around here at Lenore
Lake, is sellirg* from $20 to
S25 anacre. antl the time won*t
be long till it will cost from
S40 to S50 an acre The soil
here is very good and the country is all level. We are going
to have a railroad this summer. The winter here has
been cold. Thev say it was
the coldest winter they had
for the last 20 vears. Thev
have plenty t.f mk w yet iu
places where it had been
drifted up high. The farmers started working in the
field today, and tomorrow
nearly everybody will be out
in the field. The weather is
very nice and warm now.
Common farm horses are selling from $350 to $375 each.
Cows from$30to$45 each.The
people here are well satisfied,
and so am I. Wheat here
averages from 25 to 40 bushels
per acre. And oats can be
raised all the wav up to 120
bushels per acre. This mav
seem impossible to the people
of Pierz but it is the truth.
I guess they would believe it
if they would see the grain.
The prices are not as high as
in Minnesota. Oats is selling
at 25 cents per bushel.
Wheat is around 75 cents
per bushel. Flax $2.12 per
bushel, and potatoes 45 cents
per bushel. The wages are
very high here. A farm hand
can get $35 to $40 a month,
the year round. And a good
carpenter earns from $4 to $6
per day.
I am writing this for the
benefit of those, who mav intend to settle here. We are
all in good hone for a bouncing crop and I hope that the
people of Pierz will get the
same.
I remain respectfully,
John H. Gerwing
Do you trade at the place that
makes good? New Pierz Store.
A. E. Macho acted as undertaken at the funeral of
Miss Elizabeth Naborof Buck-
man last Mondav. The coffin was taker to the chuch in
his hearse. Mr. Macho is verv
capable and well equipped to
conduct funerals and merits
the patronage of all who have
these sad duties to perform.
John Hoschen of Melrose, one
of Stearns county's prominent
citizens, came up on the Soo
line Wednesday afternoon. He
went to Buckman in Schmolke's
auto in the evening.

Chas. Kunde of Brainerd shot
and instantly killed Bertha
Jordan, the 14-year-old daughter of Carl Jordan of St. Mathias, at 9:30 Monday evening
while taking her and her brother to a dance at the home of
Herbert Plansberg between St.
Mathias and Ft. Ripley village.
Runde was employed as a
boilermaker's helper at Brainerd and was talcing the girl and
| her lH-year-old brother to the
(lance in a single buggy. It
seems that he was very jealous
of the girl and a dispute arose.
The Brainerd man then drew a
revolver, fired one shot, which
passed through the.Tordan boy's
hand and then knocked him out
of the buggy.
The next two shots that he
fired entered the girl's temple
and caused instant death.
The horse, taking fright, ran
away* leaving the murderer to
think over the crime he had
committed. He waited for five
or ten minutes, then placed the
revolver at his own temple and
pulled the trigger. Death came
instantly, leaving only the girTs
brother to tell the horrible
story.—Transcript.

Lenore Lake,Sask.
April ID, 1911.
To the Editor of the Journa).
Dear Editor:
An it i*> a-
bout a week and a half ago
since I left Pierz for Lenore
Lake. Sask.. 1 will let till mv
friends and relatives know-
how we are gettingalong here.
Veil we came thru very
quickly with our cars. We
left on Friday morning at y-
bout .1 o'clock and came to
Humboldt on Monday night
at about 11 o'clock. Ilum-
bo'dt was our destination
point. Homboldt is a great
business town. If a stranger
comes thru here now lie may
think it is already ;m old
settled town, altho -the first
house there was build about
S vears ago. There are buildings there, which cover about
two acres of ground. The
railroads are over filled with
immigrants coining intoCar.a-
da, from all over the United
States and Europe. Land is
being taken up verv fast, but
there isroom for millions more.
Land around here at Lenore
Lake, is sellirg* from $20 to
S25 anacre. antl the time won*t
be long till it will cost from
S40 to S50 an acre The soil
here is very good and the country is all level. We are going
to have a railroad this summer. The winter here has
been cold. Thev say it was
the coldest winter they had
for the last 20 vears. Thev
have plenty t.f mk w yet iu
places where it had been
drifted up high. The farmers started working in the
field today, and tomorrow
nearly everybody will be out
in the field. The weather is
very nice and warm now.
Common farm horses are selling from $350 to $375 each.
Cows from$30to$45 each.The
people here are well satisfied,
and so am I. Wheat here
averages from 25 to 40 bushels
per acre. And oats can be
raised all the wav up to 120
bushels per acre. This mav
seem impossible to the people
of Pierz but it is the truth.
I guess they would believe it
if they would see the grain.
The prices are not as high as
in Minnesota. Oats is selling
at 25 cents per bushel.
Wheat is around 75 cents
per bushel. Flax $2.12 per
bushel, and potatoes 45 cents
per bushel. The wages are
very high here. A farm hand
can get $35 to $40 a month,
the year round. And a good
carpenter earns from $4 to $6
per day.
I am writing this for the
benefit of those, who mav intend to settle here. We are
all in good hone for a bouncing crop and I hope that the
people of Pierz will get the
same.
I remain respectfully,
John H. Gerwing
Do you trade at the place that
makes good? New Pierz Store.
A. E. Macho acted as undertaken at the funeral of
